jafi Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Hi, Sorry for the "useless" topic, but I need some reassurance. I have used unraid for some time now, learned a lot. My goal is the have one computer for a lot of different things. I run several services via docker like nginxproxymanager, mariadb, nginx, nextcloud, jellyfin, etc. Also I have couple of VM like pfsense, Home Assistant and Windows 10 (for games). I am about to upgrade my "homelab" and unraid does not support multiple arrays or zfs (officially) so I started to think. My current homelab is: Ryzen 7 2700 64GB memory 2x 4TB HDD 1x 1TB NVME 1x 256BB NVME 1x 128 GB SSD GTX 660 Ti. I was using 4TB drives as array and 1TB NVME for Windows VM. 256GB NVME was cache and 128 GB SDD was for backups. My new homelab is: Ryzen 7 5700G 64GB memory 2x 4TB HDD 2x 1TB NVME 1x 1TB SSD RTX 2060 TI My news CPU has GPU (Vega) and that is for transcoding with jellyfin. I still would like to use 2x 4TB as array for media. But what about everything els. If I could create another array I would create 2x 1TB NVME and use that for nextcloud, docker and other stuff. And 1x 1TB SSD is for Windows VM only and RTX 2060 TI also. I don't need backup of my Windows VM. But everyhing els I would like to backup, I know RAID is not a backup, but for now it is fine. With something like proxmox I can have multiple arrays, but I would have to learn a lot of new stuff. Any ideas? Edited December 13, 2021 by jafi Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Probably worth pointing out that with Unraid you can have multiple arrays as pools. It is only the main array that is (currently) restricted to a single array. Quote Link to comment
